Message from Dr. Brown: Dear Parents, This is to assure you that Florida Atlantic University’s plans to host the full array of Parent and Family Weekend activities on Sept. 5, 6 and 7 remain in place. We are monitoring the progress of Tropical Storm Hanna, but it does not appear likely that this weather system will have an adverse effect on any of the weekend’s events. President Brogan and I look forward to meeting you. Regular updates on Tropical Storm Hanna can be viewed at http://www.fau.edu/advisory.
Sincerely,
Charles Brown, Ph.D.
Vice President for Student Affairs
Florida Atlantic University 
Welcome to Florida Atlantic University! I am sure you are very excited and nervous about the adventure you are about to embark on. Our Orientation program is designed to help make your transition a little bit easier. It will be jammed full of useful information from several areas that may be of interest as you begin your journey here at FAU. I hope you will find our Orientation and Welcome Leaders to be very knowledgeable and helpful. They have been preparing since January to learn all there is to know about Orientation and FAU. I am so proud of the hard work they have put into making sure that your orientation is exciting and informative. I would like to highlight some items that you will be taking part in during Orientation. Orientation is your chance to learn everything you still need to know in order to succeed here at FAU. It will be filled with information about academics and campus involvement and will include tons of school spirit. If you have already registered for classes, take your class schedule with you for your campus tour so you can get acquainted with the building locations. Be sure to visit the Showcase of Services as it is the only time during your career here at FAU that all the departments participating will be located in one place together. Please browse our website and be sure to look at the FAQ page before you register for your Orientation session. If you should still need more information or have more questions, please feel free to contact me at (561) 297-2733 or orientme@fau.edu. Otherwise, I cannot wait to see you over the summer at an orientation session. Sincerely, Chris Hall Lynch
Associate Director of Orientation |
